    Yea the Ulimate reward one.
    I had that mainly for the interest free overdraft, the breakdown cover, travel insurance and mobile phone cover. However, I rarely used the overdraft, got free breakdown cover with my car insurance, didn't travel enough and didn't like paying £35 excess for the mobile cover. Whilst the debit card is very pretty I cancelled when they raise the monthly fee by £2.50

    Didn't they issue you a cheque guarantee card then?

    No. Just a 2in1 version of the Ultimate Reward card. I telephoned last week actually about getting a CG card and I was told I was not eligible. Strange how they can give me a £500 OD but not a full debit card.

    My parent's credit isn't that good and they got one but only a £100 OD.

    Its probably because I have 100 odd searches on my Experian report (which Halifax search) so I will have to stop applying and let them all drop off! Equifax isn't that bad with 36 on there

    That was Sygma (Flybe). I doubt it would matter as they have increased my OD since then, I have opened other credit agreements and other stuff
